"Ma, why do you wear aprons?"
"An apron is like a uniform, you know, like a nurse wears a white dress and shoes. When I put my apron on, it's my way to telling you that everything I do around here is for you, because I love you."
"...when I am washing the dishes or making a meal or cleaning the house, I think about you and how much pleasure you'll have in eating a good meal or living in a peaceful, clean house. You're why I do all this. Because I love you, I spend my days serving you. There's no greater way to show love than to serve. When you really love someone, you don't mind doing things for them. It's a joy."
"Like when you getting Daddy his coffee in the morning?"
"Yes, honey, like that. I do it because I love him, and I choose to do it."
"Taking care of you and David and your pa--those are the greatest blessings of my life."

Steph, that is so neat! I don't know if you sew or not, but I've seen some cute and easy apron patterns lately.
